Amana Colonies Visitor Center | Informal Campsite

We stayed the night, such a cute little town so quiet. We read the reviews and felt it was best to call the Sheriff's office of Amana. We spoke with the nicest Sheriff and there was no issues with us staying the night, we got there around 6pm left at 8am. Bathrooms were clean and open 24/7. Definitely advise you to call the Sheriff to let them know you are there, we believe there is a local that calls when people stay over night. They are just responding to calls and thats why they knock and check on those who park there for the night.

Stayed parked here for one night (small SUV) with no other cars in the lot and the neighborhood was very quiet. I probably parked at about 8ish and was in the back of the car getting ready to go to sleep, and by 9pm I had the sheriff knock on my window and ask for ID. He said it was because my out of state plates were suspicious but that if I was only staying for one night it shouldn’t be a problem. If it’s not a problem I’m not sure why he went to all that trouble? Anyway, I guess it’s fine to stay here but you might get a sheriff waking you up. I won’t be coming back.

Very peaceful overnight stay. Nice walk in the morning.

There is wifi in the lot capped at 5mbps for free tier.

Great for one night. Quiet at night and friendly staff in the visitor center. Good signal ATT & T-mobile. Please respectful so this spot remains open :)

I asked the lady inside the visitor center if overnight parking was allowed in town. She said others have parked in their lot before and there's no police in this community. It was perfect! There's a public bathroom right here, open all night with flush toilets, running water and 2 electric outlets. Very quiet all night. In a Sienna minivan.
